Ecto for Windows launches, BoingBoing
now a 100% Ecto bl0g!
04/14/2004 12:49 AMThe popular blogging-aid software Ecto -- once only offered for Mac --
is now available for Windows users. With today's launch of Ecto for
Windows, BoingBoing officially becomes an all-ecto blog! My BoingBoing
co-editors all use it to make blogging with Movable Type more friendly
and efficient. I'm the only PC-afflicted blogger in the bunch.
TypePad, MovableType, Nucleus, and Blogger users: rejoice. Ecto
co-creator Adriaan Tijsseling
says:
Joi and me are very happy to
announce the release of a beta of a Windows port of ecto, thanks to a
unique collaboration with Alex Hung. It is our hope that with this
collaboration the ease of use and features of ecto will now be
available to the Windows users.
The beta trial will last one month, during which we hope to find bugs
and improve on the product with the help of user feedback. Any
information about this beta will be on the ecto for Windows webpage as
Alex will be the main responsible person for this Windows version.

02/10/2004 02:53 AMSo, I finally bit the bullet and paid for Ecto, the most excellent
upgrade to Adriaan Tijsseling's Kung Log. No longer donationware
(which I expect most people donated--I admit, alas, that I didn't) but
payware with a two-week trial period. And I have to say... this is
darned sweet. Being able to manage multiple blogs at once (with the
odd blip here and there--drafts don't store which account they were
associated with so far as I can see) is really nice, especially now
that we're looking at using Movable Type as an in-house project
support tool. Using MT certainly beats...

Roland Tanglao congratulates Adriaan Tijsseling (I do
too!)
Go Adriaan go! In 2004, I don't know why this is so difficult,
I mean how old is Dreamweaver? Anyways, I am glad ecto is raising the
bar finally in blog writing software.
From ecto blog: Can you
spell 'WYSIWYAG'?:
QUOTE
This is a draft in Rich Text
editing mode. One can switch from Rich to HTML and back indefinitely.
In the Rich Text mode, a series of buttons will appear to easily allow
setting the various font and paragraph peculiarities (alignment,
indentation, cursive, bold, underline, strike-through, font-color,
background color, font face). The buttons are modelled after Panther's
neat Font panel, which obviously also has effect here. Don't mind the
gray background color, that's fully customizable. By default
background is white and foreground is black.
Note the highlighted square in the corner of the attached image.
It's the resize knob to give users basic control over the size of the
image. To control more options, double-clicking the attachment will
reveal the attachment settings sheet.
There's not really much to it, I guess, but it should make writing
blog entries a bit more easier, especially for those who don't care or
know much about HTML.

Cory Doctorow:
All four Boing Boing editors use Ecto, a blogging sool, to post and
manage our material here. Today, a public beta of Ecto 2 launches, a
major update that I'm excited as hell to get my hands on.
The basic idea behind ecto's WYSIAWYG is to offer users the ability to
compose entries without having to bother with HTML tags. Since most
blog entries are not complete web sites, composition of entries only
allows font and paragraph changes, indentation (read "blockquote"),
and obviously images (video and audio should follow shortly).
Regarding image authoring I had two ways of implementing support for
it. I tried the extreme version involving containers and layouts but
that produced quite a bit of headache and would slow down typesetting
too much. Considering that Tiger's WebKit will allow editing, I chose
the easier route. Images can still be positioned and resized in place,
but text flow is not what you will see. That's one reason for the 'A'
in WYSIAWYG... 'almost' (If your entry fails to post, read "Got"
instead of "Get"...).

Giving Ecto a try
02/10/2004 02:44 AMJust downloaded Ado's update to Kung-Log, called Ecto. Seems to have a nice
and easy set up, and the posting interface appears pretty clean.
Automatic spell-checking is there as well, which is a nice feature
too. If only it wasn't only available for this lousy Mac hardware. I've said it before and I'll say it again: If
IBM and Apple teamed up and released OSX on a Thinkpad T40, I'd buy one in
a heartbeat.
Anyway, that's not Ecto's fault. Kudos to Adriaan on a job well
done.

ecto, the blogging client
developed by Adriaan at my
company Kula has just released the beta of the next version which has
"What You See Is Almost What You Get" (wysiawyg). This means that you
can now do things like drag, drop, resize images into posts. You can
also create links, change font information and lots of other stuff
without looking at or dealing with html. (More info on the
ecto blog.) ecto 2.0 has a bunch of other cool features. Adriaan
says it should be ready for general release of the OS X version in
about two weeks. Until then... gloat.. gloat...

ecto Makes Me Happy Again
ecto Makes Me Happy Again
03/14/2005 05:09 PM Adriaan changed ecto so that it works with Drupal's
input filters better, and after finally getting around to downloading
and testing it I must say, it works like a charm. The caveat being
you have to name your input filter either "Textile" or "Markdown" and
if you do something like chain the filters in Drupal so that both work
in one filter then it obviously won't know, etc. But for sites like
this where I've named the filter after what it is, it's golden.
So, thank you, Adriaan. 
And for Mr. Walker's statements about the
blogapi.module I'll happily start filing bug reports on
it as I figure out what's wrong. It wouldn't take much effort at all
to get this working properly and then, well, sheer bliss when it does.

A weblogging tool, Ecto, has a new feature: Movie upload. It offers users an
option to indicate how an uploaded movie is used in the weblog (blog)
entry. There are two options: Ecto creates a link to the movie inside
your blog entry. The second option: the movie is then inserted right
into your blog entry. [Roland

03/14/2005 05:29 PMXeni Jardin:
Boing Boing pal
Scott Beale informs us that our blog just won
Group Weblog of the Year at the
Bloggies. OMG! What a huge honor! Thank you, Bloggies. We honestly
didn't expect this, and we are deeply moved and grateful. There were
many other deserving blogs up for awards, backed by talented folks who
work very hard, and we raise our collective pirate-eye-patches in
their honor:
check 'em all
out. On behalf of my blog-mates
Cory Doctorow,
Mark Frauenfelder, and
David Pescovitz; our wise "band manager"
John Battelle; our sysadmin
par excellence Ken Snider; and the rest of the team and extended
family that makes Boing Boing possible -- a humble thank you. But most
of all, we are grateful to you, our readers, for wasting otherwise
productive time on our collective scrapbook of "wonderful things," and
for pointing us to even more of those wonderful and undiscovered
things each day. We're really sorry that we couldn't make it to
SXSW in person to accept the award,
but we hope you'll join us in celebrating in person tomorrow at
ETCON (
all five of us will be in the same place for the first time).
Boing Boing sprouted online a little over
five years ago, from paper zine roots planted by Mark Frauenfelder
and
Carla
Sinclair. It is a privilege to blog for you. With you, we look
forward to another adventurous year of link-discuss to come.

Update: Holy crap! Reader Nathaneal Heasley
sez, "Not only did BB win best group ‘blog, it won “blog of the
year/best weblog overall” – congratulations!" For those keeping
track, this is the second year in a row Boing Boing has received these
two awards: Link to 2004, Link to 2005. Man. We're
speechless, and overwhelmed by your generosity.
